Abstract

Systems and methods of providing powder are disclosed. A system includes a powder hopper, one or more sensors, a feeder hopper and a processor in operable communication with the one or more sensors and the feeder hopper. The powder hopper is configured to provide a powder to a pair of rollers. Each of the one or more sensors is configured to determine a characteristic of the powder in the powder hopper. The feeder hopper is configured to provide the powder to the powder hopper. The processor is configured to cause the feeder hopper to provide the powder to the powder hopper in response to the characteristic of the powder in the powder hopper being less than a threshold.
